After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit all mankind was doomed and their destiny, without God, was Hell. Do you not believe this is the case?
We also believe that mankind, through Adam and Eve's disobedience, was plunged into Spiritual death. This Spiritual death is described in detail in Romans 3, Psalm 14 and 53 (the duplicated Psalm). In reading Psalm 14 and 53 you will see that no one came to God on their own.
Thus God had to intervene or no one would have been spared the awe-full destiny by default that awaited them.
We in the PCA would ask folks to observe the use of the word "predestined" that occurs in scripture 6 times, the use of the word "adoption" which occurs 5 times and "elect" which occurs 19 times and tell us what you believe these words of Scriptures mean?
Thank you for the question.
Well then if we’re predestined then why bother searching after Yashua? What would be the point? If say I was predestined to Hell and not know it (of course) then I would have spent my life worshiping Yashua, believing in Him and still go to Hell. That’s what Calvin preached.
